Would be hard for me to be unsatisfied with a Foo Fighters top ten. Glad to see songs like World and A320 do well, wasn't sure how long those would last. This Is A Call should really be top ten, and I think One By One and Wasting Light had some deserving songs too. The only thing I'm disappointed with is how quickly There Is Nothing Left To Lose songs got eliminated. Like I said before, it's my favorite album, I think Generator and Aurora should've at least been there. I like Gimme Stitches too but apparently y'all don't. But besides that, it's a fine top ten and every song deserves that spot. Not surprised that Everlong won the whole thing.

This survivor made me pretty certain in my album rankings, so for fun:
1: There Is Nothing Left To Lose
2: The Colour And The Shape
3: Wasting Light
4: Foo Fighters
5: Echoes, Silence, Patience, & Grace
6: In Your Honor
7: One By One

ESPG and In Your Honor would probably be a close tie. No bad albums by this band, even though One By One is still pretty good, with the best 4 song run of the bunch. Maybe the best 4 song run since Moving Pictures. In my opinion, at least.

 

[mckindog]

Really glad I participated in this Survivor. Got to know a band I liked a lot better.

Fell in love with Echoes — bought the album and consider it one of my best purchases of the year and perhaps the equal of Colour.
Also bought Wasting Light, which is very good as well.
Not as high on Nothing Left, One by One and In Your Honour, but they all had good songs. Door is open for each to grow on me in the future.
(Had the first two albums already)

I'm good with the final results except for the obvious omission of No Way Back.
My favourite song ended up on top and no song on there is undeserving.

Most underrated song by you guys: Stranger Things Have Happened
Most underrated song by me: Stacked Actors (meh when I voted, but it's really shot up since)

My top 10:
Everlong
Let It Die
No Way Back
Walk
Stranger Things Have Happened
Long Road to Ruin
Monkey Wrench
Times Like These
The Pretender
Learn to Fly

Thanks Mosh, for hosting

 

[Night Prowler]

Thanks for hosting! My favorite song didn't win (My Hero), otherwise really good Top 10. And The Pretender > Evelong IMO.

EDIT: If I had to choose one song from Wasting Light to be in Top 10, I'd choose Rope, not Walk.
